The arrival of AI

Once a niche and unimaginable technology, AI has gone mainstream. It now powers our day-to-day lives. But what will the next generation of AI look like? How will it change our lives further? And how far is too far for this nascent technology?

One small step…

Humanity’s yearning to travel through space is having a renaissance as technological advances drive a new space race. With private companies and public institutes pushing the boundaries of our frontiers further and further, we look to the stars – and to space tech sceptics – for what comes next.
